Your Favourite Ways to Find Inspiration
Happy Spring! :smiley: Many of my family/play ideas simply come from coming up with a nice punny Sim name... but where does inspiration come for you all?

IRL
Like irl friends. I have a friend who’s a hair stylist so I made him a stylist in the game. I have a friend who’s vegetarian so he’s vegetarian in the game, etc. It was a lot better in ts3 since there was around 100 traits and you could equip 4 or 5 on each sim. In ts4 there is half that or less and you can only do 3 traits.
I have a household of 8 that is made up of irl ex girlfriends. I don’t visit the household, it’s just fun to sometimes see them out and about in the world.
I have a former irl president at the top of the political career in my game.
MEDIA
My kid really loves Ninjago, so I made a sim (I actually made mr miyagi instead of Jackie Chan) who runs a shop selling all the rarest things in the game. It’s lead to weeks of gameplay collecting all the things and building/playing the store.
From YouTube I have LGR, Duke Nukem, Curtis Paradise, etc...
CELEBRITIES(not celebrities in my game)
I have a household made up of Al Pacino, Robert Dinero, Tony Soprano, etc who are all dressed like mobsters. They are in the criminal career.
I have a household of SNL alum who are in their alter egos, Wayne and Garth, Billy Madison, etc. they are comedians in game.
My in game cops are Sonya Blade, The Rock, Paul Walker etc...
MYSELF
I have 3 versions of my simself in my game. A realistic version, a vampire version, and a famous version.
